Corrosion is a decaying process that affects various metals – like the ones found in pipes that carry water to your home and wastewater away from it. If this is what's going on with your pipes, you may benefit from trenchless pipe lining in Bellevue, WA, a no-dig alternative to excavation offered by Sewer Solutions NW. Below, we take a closer look at the adverse effects of corrosion.

Accelerated Pipe Wear

All pipes will naturally wear out over time. What corrosion does is accelerate this process by contributing to rust and other issues that can weaken pipes. If the damage is extensive, you may benefit from trenchless sewer replacement, a method of replacement that's done by breaking up the damaged pipe and inserting a new one at the same time.

Damage to Your Yard and Foundation

Corrosion can cause underground pipes to leak. If not detected for a while, leaking pipes could damage your yard and even your foundation. With trenchless pipe repair, pipes that are leaking because of corrosion can be repaired internally with a new coating. The result is a smooth, corrosion-free interior surface.

Drain-Related Issues

The drains in your home can be affected by corrosion over time. For instance, pipes corroded further down could become clogged and cause drain water to go back up your drain lines. The result could be foul drain odors or full backups. You may also notice slow drains in your home because of corrosion issues.

Trenchless sewer repair is just one way that we deal with corrosion issues at Sewer Solutions NW. In some cases, hydro-jetting and other services we offer may minimize corrosion problems. Other times, however, repair is the better option.
